Building fswatch

If fswatch is not available on your favourite package
manager,
please let
us know.

In the meantime, you can build fswatch yourself. If you
whishes to do so, you should get
a release
tarball. A release tarball contains everything a user needs to
build fswatch on his system, following the instructions
detailed in the INSTALL file.

A developer who wishes to modify fswatch should get the
sources (either from a source tarball or cloning the repository) and
have the GNU Build System installed on his machine. Please
read README.gnu-build-system to get further details about
how to bootstrap fswatch from sources on your
machine.

Getting a copy of the source repository is not recommended unless you
are a developer, you have the GNU Build System installed on your
machine, and you know how to bootstrap it on the sources.
